EST. 1901
Est. 1901 delivers a dose of historic charm to the suburb's main strip. Assuming a prominent spot at 224 Ponsonby Road (right next to Prego) which was formerly tenanted by a butchery for over 70 years, this heritage site has now been transformed into a version of its original self. The result is an embellished time capsule where turn-of-the-century furniture and art create an historic atmosphere in which to enjoy cocktails and drinks. The drinks menu is a history lesson unto itself, with concoctions like the Miss Irvine paying homage to the building's very first owner and the Captain Dedwood serving as a nod to Ponsonby's onetime name (Dedwood). Open Wednesday-Sunday, 4pm-late.
